In the radar system 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, a transmit-receive mode is adopted, and the master processor 110 and the slave processor 120 respectively perform data acquisition and data processing on radar signals. The master processor 110 is connected to the slave processors 120 to enable transmission or reception of data or instructions. For example, the master processor 110 and the slave processor 120 may be connected through a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) and an ADC synchronous IO.
The signal receiving module 140 includes a first signal receiving unit group 141 and a second signal receiving unit group 142, wherein the first signal receiving unit group is a receiving unit for transmitting a received signal to the master processor 110, and the second signal receiving unit group 142 is a receiving unit for transmitting a received signal to the slave processor 120. The first signal receiving unit group 141 and the second signal receiving unit group 142 each include a plurality of signal receiving units, which may be radio frequency receiving units, but are not limited thereto. In some other implementations, if there are a greater number of slave processors 120, a greater number of signal receiving unit groups may be provided.
In addition to the signal receiving module 140, the radar system 100 for transmitting and receiving signals provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes a signal transmitting module 130.

In some possible implementations, after the main processor 110 controls the signal transmitting module 130 to transmit the detection signal, the main processor 110 generates and transmits a signal receiving instruction, where the signal receiving instruction may be executed by the main processor 110, and the main processor 110 processes the detection signal reflected by the obstacle received by the first signal receiving unit group 141 to determine the state data of the obstacle; the signal receiving instruction is further sent to the slave processor 120, and in synchronization with the master processor 110, the slave processor 120 processes the detection signal reflected by the obstacle received by the second signal receiving unit group 142 to determine the state data of the obstacle.
In some possible implementations, the detection signal may be a millimeter wave detection signal, the main processor 110 controls the signal transmitting module 130 of the radar system 100 to transmit a millimeter wave signal to detect an obstacle, simultaneously sending an instruction to inform the master processor and the slave processor to start a data acquisition function, when an obstacle is detected, the obstacle can reflect a millimeter wave detection signal and generate a certain frequency difference according to the radar reflection area of the obstacle and the distance from a radar, a plurality of signal receiving unit groups receive the reflection signal, a plurality of paths of difference frequency signals are generated by frequency mixing of a receiving chip and amplified by an operational amplifier chip, the master processor and the slave processor simultaneously acquire original signals, and the master processor and the slave processor determine state data of the obstacle according to the acquired original signals, and the respectively determined status data is summarized to the main processor 110, and the main processor 110 obtains the accurate status data of the obstacle according to the respectively determined status data.
In the embodiment of the present application, the state data obtained by the master processor 110 according to the original signal collected by the first signal receiving unit group 141 is referred to as first state data, and the state data obtained by the slave processor 120 according to the original signal collected by the second signal receiving unit group 142 is referred to as second state data. It should be noted that "first," "second," and the like are used merely to distinguish one description from another, and are not intended to indicate or imply relative importance. The first state data and the second state data have the same data type and the like, and the difference is only that the original signals are received by different signal receiving units and are obtained by processing through different processors. In the following description, when both the first status data and the second status data are applied, they are referred to as "status data", and when only one of them is applied, they are respectively indicated.
In some possible implementations, the status data includes distance information of the obstacle and velocity information of the obstacle.
The main processor 110 performs first-order fourier transform according to the detection signal reflected by the obstacle to generate first distance information of the obstacle; the second distance information of the obstacle is generated from the processor 120 by performing a first order fourier transform on the detection signal reflected from the obstacle. It should be noted that the process of calculating and generating the first distance information by the master processor 110 is the same as the process of calculating and generating the second distance information by the slave processor 120, and this embodiment is only illustrated by one of the processes, for example, a model of a target real-time echo signal with a distance of R and a millimeter wave radar in an FMCW system is:
an(t)=A0cos(j2πf0(t-τ)+jπμ(t-τ)2)
wherein f is0For transmitting signal frequency, N is the number of chirp (frequency modulation signal) in one frame, N is 1,2, …, N is chirp period, mu is FWCM chirp rate, a0In order to transmit the power of the signal,

for a target echo time delay, tnAnd v is the time difference between the nth chirp and the first chirp, and v is the moving speed of the target relative to the radar system.
The master and slave processors each perform the following calculation process to obtain distance information, with R representing the distance. Because the carrier frequency and bandwidth of the echo signal are too large, the receiver AD sampling can not complete the undistorted sampling, and the receiver passes through the echo signal sn(t) with the transmitted signal znAnd (t) removing carrier frequency and broadband by a frequency mixing mode, and only retaining intermediate frequency signals (baseband signals) of Doppler frequency shift information generated by target time delay and motion speed. The signal model after the frequency mixing of the radar receiver and the local oscillator signal is as follows:

wherein, KrRemoving high-frequency terms filtered by a millimeter wave radar low-pass filter for a target reflection coefficient, and neglecting an initial phase to obtain an intermediate frequency signal:

Wherein the content of the first and second substances,
Figure BDA0003042754680000094
for a constant term, it can be seen that the frequency spectrum of the real signal is a line symmetric about the center, the peak point of the positive frequency is taken, so that

Obtaining:

where f represents the frequency corresponding to the peak point, Δ f represents the step value of the spectrum abscissa, i.e., the pulse width twI represents the position of the discrete step frequency corresponding to the peak point, and B ═ μ twμ/Δ f denotes a transmission signal bandwidth.
It should be noted that the first distance information may be determined by the main processor 110 according to echo signals acquired multiple times; the second distance information may be determined from the processor 120 based on the echo signals acquired a plurality of times. The first distance information and the second distance information may include single distance data, or may include a distance array, and when the distance information includes single distance data, the distance information may be a distance average value obtained by the master processor 110 or the slave processor 120 according to multiple detections; when the distance information includes the distance array, it may be distance data of the obstacle calculated by the master processor 110 or the slave processor 120 according to the collected signals received a plurality of times.
When the distance data included in the distance information is accumulated by a certain amount (for example, n times), for example, a plurality of single distance data may be accumulated and determined, or the data amount of the distance array may reach a certain amount, in such a case, the main processor 110 performs second-order fourier transform on the detection signal reflected by the obstacle to obtain first rate information of the obstacle, and the sub processor 120 performs second-order fourier transform on the detection signal emitted by the obstacle to obtain second rate information of the obstacle.
In a possible implementation, since the range-oriented signal is a real signal, and the real signal can be represented as a sum of two complex signals with opposite indexes, the FFT spectrum of the nth range bin can be represented as:
Figure BDA0003042754680000101
in this case, a second order fourier transform is performed on the signal model. Order to

Figure BDA0003042754680000105
Figure BDA0003042754680000106
when the rate information is accumulated a certain number of times (e.g., n/2), the slave processor 120 transmits the generated second state data to the master processor 110. The above accumulation means: the master processor and the slave processor continuously generate rate data according to the signal received by the signal receiving module 140, and when the number of the calculated rate data reaches a certain number (e.g., n/2), the slave processor 120 packages the first state data and sends the first state data to the master processor 110.
In this embodiment, a dual processor is used for illustration, and for the distance data d2n of n channels of the slave processor, it is finally required to be processed by the master processor, and each one only needs to collect n/2 times of distances and summarize the distance data to the master processor, and perform FFT in an angle dimension. Assuming there are 3 processors, add up n/3 times, and so on. Therefore, n is always a multiple of 2 for the dual processors and a multiple of 3 for the multiple processors, and the number of the accumulated distance data is an integer, so that the calculation can not be influenced.
The main processor 110 generates accurate state data according to the first state data and the second state data. The accurate state data comprises accurate distance information and accurate speed information.
For example, the slave processor 120 sends the second distance information and the accumulated second rate information to the master processor 110, and the master processor 110 obtains the accurate distance information by averaging the first distance information and the second distance information; the main processor 110 obtains accurate rate information by averaging the accumulated first rate information and second rate information.
It should be noted that, since the detection signal is transmitted by the same signal transmitting module 130, the master processor 110 and the slave processor 120 receive the echo signal reflected by the obstacle synchronously, and thus, the calculation of the first distance information, the second distance information, the first speed information, and the second speed information is performed synchronously.
In some possible implementations, the precise state data further includes angle information; the main processor 110 determines the angle information of the obstacle by performing a third order fourier transform according to the precise distance information.
It should be understood that the first state data includes n/2 distance information, the second state data includes n/2 distance information, and the master processor 110 superimposes the accumulated distance information d2 × n/2 of the slave processor 120 and the accumulated speed information d1 × n/2 of the master processor 110 to perform a third-order fourier transform to obtain the precise angle information θ of the obstacle, for example, please refer to fig. 4:
setting a target echo signal:
A=A0cos(j2πf0(t-τ)+jπμ(t-τ)2)
for a plurality of receiving channels of the radar, the mathematical model of each channel echo is as follows:
Figure BDA0003042754680000121
where M is the number of virtual receive apertures, ωxThe phase difference caused for the target angle.
Figure BDA0003042754680000122
Where d is the receive antenna spacing. And performing FFT on the target point with the distance R and the speed v to obtain:
Figure BDA0003042754680000123
and (3) taking the abscissa of the peak point to obtain:
Figure BDA0003042754680000124
Figure BDA0003042754680000125
namely, the direction and the angle of a radar receiving channel have a sin transformation relation. Based on the above transformation derivation process, in summary, the two-dimensional FFT results show that the N chirp accumulates the formed signal space: the chirp direction represents the distance between the target and the radar, the direction accumulated along the chirp direction represents the radial speed of the target relative to the radar, the signal space is a distance-speed space matrix of the target, and the two directions are the distance direction and the speed direction of the target respectively. The channel-wise FFT represents the angular dimension information of the target.
It should be noted that the number of the slave processors 120 is one or more, as shown in fig. 3, the radar system 100 shown in fig. 3 includes a plurality of slave processors 120, and each slave processor 120 is added, and accordingly, a signal receiving unit may be added, so that the data acquisition capability of the radar system 100 may be expanded, and the data processing capability of the radar system 100 may also be enhanced.
The master processor 110 and the slave processor 120 may be integrated circuit chips having signal processing capability. The processor may be a general-purpose processor, including a Central Processing Unit (CPU), a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) or other Programmable logic device, a discrete Gate or transistor logic device, a discrete hardware component, a microprocessor, a single chip, and so on, which is not limited in this embodiment.
The operation principle of the radar system 100 according to the embodiment of the present application will be described below by taking the number of the slave processors 120 as an example.
The master processor and the slave processor respectively perform first-order Fourier transform on the acquired signals to obtain distance information of the obstacle, and after the distance data determined by the master processor and the slave processor are accumulated for n times, the master processor and the slave processor simultaneously perform second-order Fourier transform to obtain speed information v1 and v2 of the obstacle.
